Update: Two UTSA players released from team in wake of arrests

The UTSA football team will check in for fall camp Friday morning without two defensive backs.

With practice for UTSA’s second season scheduled to open on Sunday, the Roadrunners are facing questions in the wake of the arrests of two players — safety Adefemi Adekeye and cornerback Toyin Dada.

Adekeye was arrested on Wednesday and Dada on Thursday, according to a story from Express-News reporter Michelle Casady. Both have been dismissed from the team and face a charge of armed robbery.

The incident reportedly happened at an off-campus apartment on Tuesday.

Adekeye, from Richmond, played all 10 games last year, mostly on special teams. He came out of spring practice as a second-team safety. Dada, from Houston, was a transfer from Northwestern State University.
